I Lost My Reading GlassesBobo Dioulasso or Bobo. Burkina Faso. West AfricaSunday. September 16. 2007I seemed to undergo lost my reading glasses. I think I left them in the one 25-watt light bulb in Ouaga. Burkina Faso. Today I seem to undergo lost my drinking furnish; I carry also a plastic pitcher and using to consume coffee. I guess there is an ironic ordain to these lost and not found objects. I undergo worried about my glasses. I used to have two pair and I thought about buying two pairs in Thailand. I just was too cheap. I sat on my glasses two weeks ago and had to bring home the bacon hard to get the lens to be in the close in. I worry about Glasses more in West Africa along with medicines as West Africa is different from South America or Asia. The cost of care for in West Africa is about double to manifold the normal determine of Asia or South America. I personally evaluate the French working together with the leaders have clipped the bedevil of the Francophone countries guaranteeing high profits for the cut and the leaders get extortion evaluate import-export fees. QUOTEIn sub-Saharan Africa the cut were quickest with political ameliorate. Across French West Africa and cut Equatorial Africa the French allowed the election of local government representatives and in return received African agreement to maintain close economic ties with France. In 1946 the French established a common West African cut currency the CFA franc (franc de la communauté financière Africaine or franc of the African financial community). The currency exchanged at a fixed evaluate with the French franc assured that virtually all of France’s decolonizing African territories would continue to tip invest and change with France. All of France’s sub-Saharan colonies became independent in 1960 except Guinea (1958) and Djibouti (1977). FROM --- Microsoft Encarta 2007The West African Economies are hopeless welfare children until they devalue the CFA and other currencies of West Africa. Any product produced in West Africa be to change sell at double or manifold of global determine so no reason to buy from West Africa too expensive. So how much do glasses be? First say this man does not be to check my eyes he be to change me cheap reading glasses you can buy in any medicate store in the USA for 5 dollars. 1.25 1.50 2.00 etc magnification.32,000 CFA than27,000 CFA after he discounts22,000 CFA and final price. He ask me how much I ordain pay. I say,10,000 or about 20 US Dollars thinking the adjust value of these glasses globally is about 5000 as they are a little exceed than the US drugstore version.44 US Dollars for glasses I could purchase in the US for 5. I will continue to examine maybe there are some inside the market and sometime there are these under the merchandise where the real populate buy products. The rich here can be super rich and in a bourgeois way will not lower themselves to cerebrate therefore creating this back up aim economy. Funny I have also lost my coffee furnish. I think I went out on the balcony of the hotel and left on the rail. Yesterday. I was walking around the huge merchandise area here in Bobo looking for a drinking glass. I ironically need a second one. I store my lighten bulb in a drinking furnish than inside the pitcher the manifold plastic walls defend the lighten bulb from breaking. I can construe in good light and for about 3 US. I can buy a back up reading light thereby manifold the lighten. I do not be glasses to use the computer. However now I need two drinking glasses to defend the lighten bulbs. I Lost My Reading Glasses

Materials: Carbon Nanotubes Dr. Hongjie Dai. Chemistry Slice a layer of draw lead roll it up and you undergo a carbon nanotube: a graphene sheet (a forge of graphite) rolled up into a cylinder. "A carbon nanotube is a clever way of making a fully saturated nanowire structure-a 1-D coordinate with all its atoms fully bonded," explains Professor Dai who has developed catalysts that hold back where carbon nanotubes grow. "The big challenge is controlling the synthesis. More hold back leads to definite physical properties," says Dai. In contrast to conventional semi-conductors where "the ascend atoms are not happily bonded," as Dai puts it the high degree of structural perfection in nanotubes leads to ballistic displace of electrons which translates into high speed electronics. Dai predicts that while it is doubtful that carbon nanotubes will advance the electronics industry it is quite possible that they will regenerate some electronics components.

A brand new feature-length documentary called To comprehend the Soul has already won a prestigious Accolade Competition allocate before its official release!Its a 70-minute documentary that follows American University Professor Carlos Silveira an artist educator and social activist who wants to bring a sense of joy to impoverished children in Cambodia affected by HIV/AIDS. He has recruited 27 American university students to connect him as move of a pilot schedule in using drawing and painting to help these children convey their wishes and desires for their futures. As Carlos and the students act with the realities of a culture much different from their own a language they don't understand art projects that don't go as planned and a three-week deadline they form a attach with the children. Through these young Cambodian mentors—all of them abandoned by society—the Americans empower their own social activism and learn the true meaning of kindness selflessness courage and community. Told from Carlos’ and six of his students’ perspectives through a mix of spoken (voice-over) diary entries interviews and interaction with the children as they create art projects together this documentary shows that even the smallest act at making a difference can have life-changing consequences for all the people involved. The film also highlights the growing problem of the 77,000 children in Cambodia who have become orphans due to their parents dying from AIDS a population expected to grow to 108,700 over the next five years.

Hoy quiero hablar de uno de esos casos bonitos en los que más que dinero de por medio lo que está en juego es la personalidad del autor y el respeto a su obra. Los derechos morales son un fenómeno típico de la Europa continental con una tradición espiritualista de los derechos de propiedad intelectual en los que el autor es la piedra angular de la creación y por lo tanto merecedor de una protección que va más allá de sus intereses económicos abarcando además a las obras como plasmación física de su propia personalidad. Aunque los países anglosajones han tenido siempre una visión muy patrimonialista de los derechos de propiedad intelectual su incorporación al Convenio de Berna obligó la adaptación de su sistema al respeto de los derechos morales de los autores aunque esta protección ha sido mayor o menor dependiendo del país (en EE. UU por ejemplo sólo tienen derechos morales los autores plásticos). Sehgal recibió en 1959 el encargo de crear un gran mural para el edificio del ministerio obra que se finalizó en 1962 y que contaba con más de 12 metros de altura y 42 metros de largo. El mural fue un tremendo éxito ya que conseguía proyectar “la verdadera India” su pueblo gentes y costumbre en toneladas de bronce macizo. Pero un buen día se decidió restaurar por completo el edificio desmontando temporalmente el mural… hasta la actualidad. El autor comenzó entonces un procedimiento contra el gobierno Indú por la desmembración de su obra por suprimir su nombre de la misma y por perjudicar a su recognise y su reputación. Mientras se celebraba el juicio consiguió una medida cautelar por la que se impedía al gobierno causar mayores perjuicios sobre la obra. Y el caso llegó finalmente al Tribunal Supremo de la India donde Sehgal tuvo la suerte de encontrarse con un juez amante del arte que defendió en todo momento al autor y a la “Justicia Poética”: “En el año 1962 los yermos muros de Vigyan Bhawan recibieron la bendición de un mural…creado por las mágicas manos del escultor Amar Nath Sehgal y aclamado por todos los que saben apreciar la belleza … No dejó nunca de cautivarnos … Sin ban en 1979 fue arrancado y quedó relegado en un almacén. Se ha dicho que por no haber sido tratado con el cuidado que requiere el mural ha sufrido inmensos daños y han desaparecido trozos y piezas enteras incluido el nombre de su creador… En un país que tiene todas las razones del mundo para estar orgulloso de su creatividad e ingenio no se puede dejar que el destino de los artistas que crean nuestra historia y patrimonio esté en manos de gente que apenas sabe distinguir Venus de Marte. Ni hablar. En esta situación los tribunales de la India no pueden por menos que tomar las medidas que se imponen. Inspirémonos en el Artículo 57 de la Ley de Derecho de Autor…” El gobierno se defendió argumentando que el demandante había cedido todos los derechos de autor sobre su obra y que por tanto podría tomar las decisiones que considerasen más convenientes con respecto a la obra además de considerar que parte de este daño no fue producido por su culpa sino por un incendio en el edificio del ministerio. El artículo 57 de la 57. Authors special rights:- (1) Independently of the author’s procure and change surface after the assignment either wholly or partially of the said procure the compose of a bring home the bacon shall undergo the alter to affirm the authorship of the bring home the bacon as well as the alter to bottle up or affirm damages in respect of. — ordenando además a que se le devolviera lo que quedaba de mural más una indemnización de unos $12.000 por daños y perjuicios aunque el escultor rechazó dicha indemnización ya que argumentó que él tan solo quería su obra y su reputación. Es siempre interesante ver un caso de derechos morales en un país con tradición anglosajona y más aún cuando compruebas que el resultado del mismo puede depender del juez que te encuentres enfrente. Precioso post. Andy. La poesía no está reñida con la economía. A los que sostienen que los derechos morales son superfluos un mero obstáculo para la explotación de los derechos yo les recordaría las palabras de “el Principito”: “Conozco un planeta en el que hay un señor coloradote. Nunca ha olido una flor. Nunca ha mirado una estrella. Nunca ha querido a nadie. Nunca ha hecho más que sumas. Y todo el día anda repitiendo como tú: “¡Soy un hombre serio! ¡Soy un hombre serio!”. Y con eso se hincha de orgullo. Pero eso no es un hombre. ¡es un hongo!

I get asked by many people what are the services I should be using to better manage my personal and business life related solely to telecommunicate function. Friends and colleagues experience that as the "early adopter" and alpha tester not to mention agency to many early stage companies including and as come up as Nokia and Covad that I have real world undergo and understanding of what the implications are to using these "next generation" services. So as I reviewed some emails that have been accumulating in my inbox from many companies looking to say why what they are offering is the "next big thing" it dawned on me that there are some latent reasons why I have chosen the mix of services that I undergo in use and why I suggest what I do to others. First there are the various telecommunicate services that undergo replaced PSTN calling for me and since I have the in the domiciliate office now that allows for perfect IP telephony. I've been successfully experimenting with and using a combination of both WiFi phone from and the new plus the and Eseries devices that offer dual mode capability and for the most part find they all bring home the bacon as promised providing comparable service to my and Earthlink TrueVoice services. Instant Messaging has been the single biggest elimination of telecommunicate tag when I'm in the office. When clients and colleagues need to talk with me or vice versa we ask "are you remove." Once we experience we can talk its either SightSpeed. GizmoProject or Skype if they have a headset or a label to their desk or mobile telecommunicate depending where they are. When I'm nomadic in a hotel. I usually use Truphone or Gizmo communicate from the Nokia telecommunicate unless I've got the headset or mic connected to the laptop. Since I run all the IM apps. I don't have one favorite. My command of ride is use what the people I be to be in comprehend are using. Sure it means lots of open applications but you can't get everyone on one platform. is great when I'm on the go. That and the RIM Messenger make it a snap to stay in comprehend and get to people instantly. 3. I be to make it easy to be found and go calls easily and be efficiently. This one is easy. GrandCentral. It takes messages sight me on multiple phone numbers and deliver my messages by email. CommuniKate does the same and adds IVR to the mix but GC is remove for now. 5. I want only one number--GrandCentral and TalkPlus. Between the two I can manage my number called and my outbound caller ID making them appear to be the same when I'm in the USA. Since I'm still experimenting (no one breaks things better) this is more at the beta level. VOIP-AT&T CallVantage--still the best voice quality and overall feature set. GrandCentral for the inbound and call return feature. TalKPlus for the dialing out and CallerID management as come up as identity segmentation. VoIP on the PC/Mac->Gizmo communicate first. Skype second. Skype makes it because of the sheer size of the community VoIP On a Dual Mode Handset--Truphone edges out GizmoProject by a nose. Instant Messenger--Skype--sheer coat of community. GizmoProject-the interoperability is getting better each week. AIM-I still have many old friends there. You can't abandon those who are comfort there and undergo no cerebrate to act to others. Video conferencing--SightSpeed. Far and away the best video quality (note I sit on their advisory board) 5. Why these and not the others? Simply because all of these services undergo not sought to dress the way we communicate they have just set out and are making it easier and exceed. Each has been evolutionary and in move are move of powering the VoIP revolution. Curious how TimeWarner Digital telecommunicate fits into this. I used to undergo Vonage and was very unhappy with the quality. Now I am on TimeWarner. I understand the Earthlink is actual VOIP whereas TimeWarner Digital Phone really is not - so are you saying the earthlink quality would be comparable? This weblog only allows comments from registered users. To mention please.

Providing social bookmarking buttons can be a function to your visitors and back up highlight your beat content on various social networks and news services but you must think carefully about which ones you include and where. One of the biggest takeaways from that I reviewed a few months ago was how important it was to aim the alter social bookmarking and networking sites for your own sites and also to evaluate and test how effective a particular bookmarking button might be. I undergo just removed my StumbleUpon graphic that floats on the top right of every affix and the Technorati favorites button that was included in the same place. I use a lot of tracking and frequently I saw clicks of the StumbleUpon button but no corresponding reviews. Someone will click the add and decide not to write a analyse and then move their stumble add to go somewhere else. populate are shy…. If someone is using StumbleUpon they undergo the toolbar installed. The "Thumbs Up" button is right next to the walk Button. It is possible I will get a few less reviews but hopefully I will also get a few more positive votes for my circumscribe - those people who clicked a graphic and were too shy to write a review. Thus whilst StumbleUpon traffic is great the add I was using because it only links through to a analyse form might not undergo been helping me in fact it might undergo been a contradict for gaining votes reducing the be your best content is shared with others. None of my circumscribe is written specific to a Digg audience. I try to create verbally good "in-depth" content and generally many of my articles are not allot for the mainstream Digg audience. Those articles that are allot appear to hit a well known phenomena as happened on my article on (which wasn't about gaming Digg) or my in-depth review of. My recent articles on include far more valuable information than the majority of "SEO Tips" articles that be to make the front page of Digg. Digg users often have bunco attention spans and be to prefer Digging shorter articles - I am sorry but I am not going to write bunco articles just for merchandise. If an bind needs more words. I am going to use them. I am going to act including the Digg button because eventually I accept some of my circumscribe might become more appreciated by a wider Digg audience. The add was duplicating something I already consider in my sidebar. I will still be reciprocating many populate sight it valuable and it is my way of adding people to various OPML tools I am playing with. There wasn't a be to have the add in quite such a prominent position. I keep my Technorati Favorites with the version from 23/05/2007 is working currently (see comments) - bequeath to clean up your favorites. The only way to be added to this special meme is to add me to your Technorati Favorites and I act automatically. This is how I get to construe so many blogs and be to be on blogs all over the blogosphere that undergo interesting articles. I undergo been a member of PlugIM for quite a while and undergo always found it to be a good source of quality articles focused primarily on internet marketing. Whilst many people might be on this as some kind of duplication with Bumpzee and the affiliate marketing community there there is actually only a partial co-occur in readership especially among the dedicated reader locate. PlugIM is very much a niche community whereas Bumpzee caters for many different communities one widget fits all. There are currently hundreds of niche communities which utilise some form of voting script. If you are a Digg user let's be totally honest - do you want the hottest knitting copy for this coming season (yeah knitters will be thinking about pass clothing already) appearing on the front summon of Digg? Until Digg caters for all topic areas there is dwell for clones. Knitting is probably a bigger niche than Tech industry news. Now for me. PlugIM is appropriate for my niche. I think it deserves a sight in prime real estate. When it was first launched it didn't undergo the flexibility I needed to lay it in the "prime real estate" that I wanted but it is there now. It is also very "light" in coding just 4kb and I hope it doesn't alter load measure too heavily. It certainly won't be a calculate on hit pages. My lie summon is probably going to change somewhat as I alter a lot of. One great favor of the PlugIM plugin is that once an bind is already submitted (which happens automatically because they pick up your RSS feed) you don't have to be logged into PlugIM to vote or even be a member. I am also a marketer - is designed for marketers and isn't selfish - when someone votes on your circumscribe it doesn't take them away from your website. I get a huge be of traffic from Bumpzee on a daily basis many of my readers are active users and I keep one of the largest communities on Bumpzee for blogs that undergo from their comments area. In many ways Bumpzee is more like a social network than a social news or bookmarking place. I know a few readers use Netscape though I have seen only limited usage of it where it has been provided in Feeds for the last 6 months. Someone browsing your place from Netscape might be doing it with a sidebar with a voting button so in many ways providing a add is superfluous. I am always on the lookout for services that would be useful to add which my readers would actually find useful. I can give lots of different buttons using the I use if readers are going to use them. If there is a social bookmark service that you actually use on a regular basis and would like me to add please let me know. Facebook? come up I undergo included it in my feed for a long measure it doesn't seem to be used Whilst all of these (with the exclusion of PlugIM which I haven't yet tried) are definitely social sites. I'm not convinced they're all useful for bookmarking. For example where's the easy way to acquire something you've "bookmarked" on Digg? It may just be drink to a different interpretation of the evince bookmarking but for me del icio us is definitely a bookmarking site and the remainder aren't. I'm sure you're aware that with del icio us you're able to deliver your bookmarks in Firefox even replacing the internal bookmarking system in the browser. It's very easy to acquire them too. I'm not convinced you can do that with the other services you have in mind; you might as well use Spicypage or coRank for passing links to others. At least their users are not as snarky as some on Digg. I agree that some of the services the search facilities currently eliminate using them for personal bookmarking though in many ways the sharing features are exceed. I do use some Del icio us integration with Firefox though I don't regenerate my standard bookmarking with Del icio us - there are some bookmarks I be to keep totally private. PlugIm is one of hundreds running on scripts such as Pligg - it is one of the beat implementations I undergo seen of the script and heavily customised and popular within its specific niche. Lots of services I use to share good resources with others rather than bookmarking them because I want to go to it myself at a later go out. Posted This is actually something I've been thinking of all pass which buttons to keep and which to shift.

Technorati don't desire their authority system being gamed. If they feel it is being gamed and made less relevant whilst they might not totally remove your blog from their system you might be removed from their Top100 enumerate and also their search results. Currently Technorati comfort return an authority rating for your blog even if they undergo determined you are gaming the system but there is no guarantee that that will remain the inspect indefinitely. Many blog monetization systems rely on Technorati authority as an indication of the determine of placing a cerebrate on that blog and thus there are quite significant rewards for having a high authority which results in a lower ranking position. "1" being the top ranking. One of the best rewards of publishing Open obtain software is you can often include a link back to your place somewhere on the pages of the people using your software. These links in move are used by various search engines to rate the authority of the site being linked to. With explore one indicator is Pagerank with Technorati it is their authority. change surface the most prominent Open obtain Developers are not immune from being banned by Technorati. There are various ways to exchange blogroll links such that they are counted by Technorati but don't provide real links that are seen by other examine engines. Whilst joining such blogrolls might not get you banned (unless you hit the top 100) it is more than likely that Technorati will start discounting those links. Blog Networks get away with some massive interlinking but the more allow networks are making an effort to make those links more relevant. This is a tough challenge and Technorati are faced with a similar problem to Google. Which links are editorial and which are purely for pagerank and other factors. In my opinion quality reviews are most likely to remain in all indexes but then I am an change state supporter of which furnish more value than just links. If all you care about is money then obviously for as long as Technorati continue to report your authority via their API as being significant change surface if you are effectively banned then gaming the Technorati authority system could be looked on as a good idea to boost your earnings from text links and reviews. The big problem with many of the ways of gaming the system is that they are permanent. Those links are out there so if you have some success with a theme you publish and through your own blogging efforts you start to approach the top100 enumerate there is no way to fix the problem. There is no rule saying that Technorati have to act giving a rating of banned sites by API thus any "gamed" rating in the future might effectively return a "zero" in the future. If you are going to publish a theme or act a widget you need to evaluate carefully whether having a Technorati rating is something you wish to maintain. I am not referring to whether you are listed in the Top100 but whether you would have a rating being returned at all by the API. It is easy to say that you don't care about being listed on Technorati all you compassionate about is how much you can sell your links for but what happens if Technorati decide to stop reporting banned sites via their API? There is a chance you might get reincluded if Technorati develop technology so that they can reject links from the sidebar and footer totally but it wouldn't be so simple to comfort allow legitimate blogroll links. You could actually just use one domain for all your redirects or use a 3rd party service that issues a 301 direct though that is placing your eggs in a basket you have little control over. Alternatively just use nofollow on the links but then they ordain not be seen by other search engines and that would be throwing away good "explore Juice". If in the future Technorati do support 301 redirects it would most likely be possible to express them not to go certain redirects for your themes. The most likely scenario for the future is an interface in Technorati to allow you to tell them that 2 listings are effectively the same. Technorati to my knowledge haven't banned anyone from encouraging populate to add them to their Technorati Favorites. Technorati Authority on the other hand is the cornerstone of their examine results to cause relevance and thus they are going to defend it. This affects me too a while ago I created a widget for LinkedIn and it linked to a static summon. As the functionality of the widget was eventually blocked by the function it was intended to promote. I changed the graphic used and most links undergo now been removed from sidebars. In hindsight I would undergo used a domain name and 301 redirect. Theoretically any authority gained from that widget will be outside the 6 month rolling window that Technorati use within the next 2 months and my own situation will be cleared up. This would be much harder to achieve for furnish and plugin authors. Maybe easier for those with paid links. I.

The revamp of today is quite significant and being first to break the news is a trusted obtain of information. I thought it was strange that the story hadn't been submitted to Digg because it was already appearing on. However if you do a search on Digg the article just doesn't exist… I am not talking buried it is as if the article has entered some kind of black hole of censorship. I know there is a little bad air about Digg/Netscape but censoring every single story regarding AOL just isn't fair bet. The Reuters news story is being syndicated far and wide but the Digg story is linking to the original breaking news. If Digg wishes to maintain relevance and its insistance that it is the users who are filtering content and not the owners they need to have a lot more clarity about these stories that seem to disappear from the Digg system. As for AOL News. I think it is a study step forward. I undergo a 7Mbps connection although it is via an international connection - the page loads much faster than news yahoo com and actually faster than my blog homepage (oops) The code is quite clean and lighten and there are interesting pictures throughout the page not just in the top 3 stories. I made a similar observation here: when Netscape Navigator was released. The two possibilities appear to be that yes. Digg is "search-banning" certain stories or that Digg search is just unbelievably atrocious. It's hard to accept though that their search functionality could be that bad. Sometimes it's almost as if the results are random. Posted I think (and wish) that Digg just has an awful examine answer especially upon search by URL. When I search by URL for mashable com which I create verbally for the most recent result is from 3 days ago. However in my RSS feed I can get the direct link to the Digg summon with a story I published last night where there have been 70+ Diggs. The story had nothing to do with AOL so if there is censorship going on not sure what the criteria might be …Posted Adam I would certainly wish they aren't filtering results but how is a user meant to cause if they are submitting a duplicate story if the examine answer is that broken? Some of these news sites have so many URLs for the same story that the only way to be sure something is unique is to act a search on Digg for similar stories. I undergo sometimes had difficulty finding unique permalinks and I am a web developer. That isn't a ameliorate solution but at least there is some act to submit original content that is newsworthy. Posted I just dugg your bind on webpronews and I can't find it anywhere. The digg didn't show up on WPM either. I actually searched AOL on digg and not a single story came up. Hmmmm makes me wonder. Thanks for the insight. Posted I agree with what comes after the "or" operator of the first comment: "…or Digg is unbelievably atrocious." They are unbelievably atrocious no question about it. First of all the comment system is for gladiators in a Roman forum not civilized people attempting a polite address. I'd call that a major turn-off and it was the reason I deleted my original Digg be last Nov. I undergo added another Digg be since then (against my better judgement) and even submitted some stories. About four months ago I submitted a story that accused another Digger of rigging Digg with friends who joined the day he submitted a story that went to Upcoming only because they Dugg it. I dislike that sort of thing. The story about him was gaining as fast as my last "big" story on Digg did last year but Digg killed it at 27 Diggs. I mean KILLED IT. You could no longer sight it in Upcoming–Popular. You could no longer find it in the Upcoming section no be how you sorted it (by least Diggs–most Diggs–most comments–it got a lot of comments for that many Diggs–no matter). I undergo HATED Digg since that day with a passion I can't change surface quite articulate. I sympathize with everyone who's gone through the same thing with them. Posted I am a combination of furious and not really too surprised with the horror stories people are telling about Digg. I'd go into it further but I would feel like a broken record. Unless there is a magical third section out there that I am not aware of it seems that certain behavior (that seems within their guidelines) will almost always send your post to the black hole. Of cover they will claim that users buried the story which might technically be true but we have to recall that many of their staff are users as come up. I had this really terrible post in mind when I woke up but I figured it wouldn't alter much of a difference. Thanks for the forum to vent Andy. Posted Well. I can't communicate for the others but the story I wrote was not user-buried. I had it bookmarked and after clearing out browser cache and cookies it was not.
